None of your 8 similar games are hits.

Your picks lean toward this genre's biggest survivors; the typical figure reads from its ordinary successes.

No genre covers most of your similar games. The closest is Card Game (3 of 8), so the genre you lead with is still undecided.

Best case: Ash of Gods: The Way at ≈ 13k–20k copies, ≈ $86k–$232k after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here

About half the games that made it here had over 27 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 7 to 226.

Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Card Game (3 of 8) and Trading Card Game (3 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Choices Matter + Turn-Based Strategy, priced around $12. The breakout hits carry Card Game; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2014 to 2024, and 3 of your 8 shipped in the last two years.

How these numbers were worked out

A hit here: 1,000+ reviews, roughly $150k+ before Steam's cut (a standard indie benchmark).

Copies come from each game's reviews times a sales-per-review rate that falls with release age, from about 31 for the most recent game here to about 70 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
